Excellent

I was strongly considering buying a set of Swarovski NL Pures. While I'm sure there is a noticeable difference to experts, I just couldn't see it. I purchased the BX5 10x42 the BX5 15x56 and the SX5 spotting scope all for less than the cost of the NL Pures and couldn't be happier.

These are probably the best

These are probably the best binoculars I have owned. Built very well and are amazingly clear. I am looking for a smaller pair to keep in the glove box of my truck. I will definitely be buying another set of these, just smaller and lighter.

These Binos are AMAZING!!! I can see a flag posted on top of a mountain over 2 miles away and tell that it's ripped and where the rip is. If I can do that from home, I cant wait to use them in the field. . Amazing quality, super clear sight lenses. What can I say, just amazing!

The light transmission and efficiency

The light transmission and efficiency is incredible. Just like my Mark 4 rifle scopes, you are able to make out images and see in darker areas that you would never be able to see with the naked eye. Very impressed and will be purchasing more BX-5's in other magnifications. I have been using Leupold rifle scopes for more than four decades but never have I owned a pair of Leupold binoculars. There is no need to look elsewhere. I will be replacing all of my older binoculars with Leupold in the coming years.

The eye cups have a rim on them that won't fold down. I can't get a full view because of how my eyes sit. I emailed Leupold to ask if they offer the flat eye cups and was told they do not make any other eye cups at this time.

About Leupold BX-5 Santiam HD

FEATURED REVIEWS

In my own honest review.

By Charles B.

In my own honest review. I will be honest I haven't taken these out in the woods yet, but I have bird watched and did sometime outside with these 10x50 BX-5 Santiam HD's. These are a huge upgrade from my 10 year old Vortex Viper HD's I have. The fit and finish of these binos are great! These were the most comfortable in hand and to the eye binos I held up in the store. The contrast, picture image, and sharpness were the best to my eyes. Right before dark these things just shine outside. I was...

Glass is as good or

By Steve I.

Glass is as good or better than my Swarovski glasses, very nice binos, my only issue is the focus is actually a bit to quick for me, or to sensitive, for me the focus has to be dead on,

10x binos hit the sweet spot for a lot of hunters. They provide enough field-of-view for tight areas, while delivering enough magnification for wide-open spaces.

Built for epic adventures in harsh environments, the 10x42mm BX-5 Santiam HD binoculars dominate other optics in their class. Their generous eyebox is designed for long glassing sessions with no eye-strain. The open-bridge design is comfortable and easy to carry, while the advanced prisms and Twilight Max HD Light Management System ramp up light transmission and redefine low-light performance; helping you see more in less light. And, of course, their glare management, clarity, and resolution are second to none.

Comes with Pro Gear accessories, GO Afield shoulder strap, binocular case, lens covers, and lens cloth.
